dr wong is correct that dsek is not appropriate here.
full corneal transplant may also not be appropriate. using special lasers, corneal surgeons can now cut out sections of the cornea and replace those sections with clear transplants, but they are not full-thickness transplants. this avoids almost all of the rejection complications of corneal transplant. speak with a corneal surgeon, and if he is not familiar with this technique, as its relatively new, then i advise a second opinion from a world-class center.

I would first ask if your doctor thinks you have healed. 2 months is not a very long time for serious corneal injuries. Most times the scars are superficial, but the endothelial keratoplasty is a procedure performed for a different problem and is performed from underneath the corneal surface. Depending on the depth of the scar, I would suggest investigating either laser removal of a superficial scar, or, if deeper, a corneal transplant.
